sb4 Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 I probably have some setting dinged somewhere but not sure. I'm just doing basic spline practice in a Model window. In pure wireframe mode, the splines look like normal smooth curves. In the shaded modes, each spline becomes a double line segment instead of a smooth curve. What do you think I have wrong? -SB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you think I have wrong? -SB Nothing. Splines are converted to polygones in shaded-view, since graphiccards can not show splines directly. But you can increase the subdivision-level by hitting "Page Up". Like that it will becomes smoother or less smooth (page down). If you feel a slow down, you may want to use a lower subdivision-level. This level has nothing to do with final rendering and will only affect the shaded-view. See you *Fuchur* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also finally located in the Help about the Tools | Options | Polys per patch attribute -- which seems identical to the page up/page down. However, the help didn't mention that final rendering isn't affected, so that is good to know. Regards, -SB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
